I May Be Big
But I Didn't Cause That Solar Eclipse

I May Be Big But I Didn't Cause That Solar Eclipse is award-winning Canadian humorist Gordon Kirkland's fifth book.

In this book, Kirkland once again takes on subjects ranging from marriage to dealing with a canine companion. He looks at the odd events of daily life, and even finds humor in the experiences of moving and having a serious illness.

An April 2006 profile of Kirkland in the Canadian edition of Reader's Digest said, "Kirkland's specialty is making others laugh at him, at themselves, and at life in general."

Gordon Kirkland is recognized as one of North America's premier humor writers, having won Canada's Stephen Leacock Award of Merit For Humour for three of his previous books: Justice Is Blind - And Her Dog Just Peed In My Cornflakes, Never Stand Behind A Loaded Horse and When My Mind Wanders It Brings Back Souvenirs . At this writing, we are waiting to hear the results of several award nominations for his fourth book, 2006's I Think I'm Having One Of Those Decades.

Kirkland entertains audiences in live appearances and on radio and television throughout North America . He is proud to be the first Canadian writer chosen for the faculty of the prestigious Erma Bombeck Writer's Workshop at the University of Dayton in Ohio .

"Canada has given the United States many wonderful gifts: Beer. Hockey. That famous entertainer, whatshisname. Beer. The list goes on and on. And to this list we must add the name of Gordon Kirkland , a very funny writer who is able to find humor in just about anything, because the only alternative would be for him to get a real job. As a fellow class clown suffering from maturity impairment, I salute him."

"Not only is Gordon accomplished in his field, but he is funny! I don't know if you have ever tried being funny on paper, but it is one of life's miracles. Gordon should probably be sainted. But don't take my word for it; just read him."
